Mercy Education is pleased to sponsor the Partners in Ministry Leadership Academy, an annual leadership development opportunity held each summer.

Dates: Monday, July 22, and Tuesday, July 23. The program will end at 12 noon. Following the program, all are welcome for an optional session from 1-3 pm to share best practices around timely topics within our Mercy schools.

Location: Mercy Center, 101 Mercy Drive, Belmont, North Carolina. Accommodations will be provided at Mercy Center and a nearby hotel. 

Who Attends?

Those newly appointed to a leadership position in the school (faculty/staff/administration/board); those relatively new to a Mercy school; those who seek renewal or would like to explore a greater exercise of leadership; those who wish to know more about the charism, core values and tradition of Mercy that they might share more fully in the mission of Mercy.

Each participant shares in the learning and dialogue. Individually and communally, there is renewed faithfulness to the mission of Mercy. Participants return to their ministries with an increased capacity to embrace and enhance the Mercy Charism in their school communities. Participants are encouraged to reflect on their individual gifts, to dialogue with others and to return to their ministry committed to exercising leadership for mission.
